This seems to be the one.
NOTHING IN RAMBLIN' (Memphis Minnie)
I's born in Louisiana, I's raised in Algiers And everywhere I've been, the people's all said Ain't nothin' in ramblin', e'vn or'n runnin' around Well I believe I'll marry, who-oo Lord and settle down.
My first day at home, I stopped in Tennessee The people's all beggin', come and stay with me 'Cause ain't nothin' in ramblin', e'vn or'n runnin' around Well I believe I'll get me a good man, who-oo Lord and settle down.
I walked to L.A. with my hand in my coat The po-lice start to shoot me, say there's somethin' I stole You know there ain't nothin' in ramblin', e'vn or'n runnin' around Well I believe I'll marry, who-oo Lord and settle down.
There's people on the highway, is walkin' and cryin' Some is starvin', some is dyin' You know ain't nothin' in ramblin', e'vn or'n runnin' around Well I believe I'll get a good man, who-oo Lord and settle down.
You may go to Hollywood, and try to get on the screen But I'm gon' stay right here., and eat your old jelly beans 'Cause there ain't nothin' in ramblin', e'vn or'n runnin' around Well I believe I'll marry, who-oo Lord and settle down.
